     For this idea - a simple ribbon, 3D dot by Glue Dots (embossed in red), along with a stamp that is embossed is the idea behind this easy card.  If you have a few cards to make, try to use a red base and then switch the colors around!  Use as many scraps as you can in order to get more bang for your buck where your crafting is concerned.  
When embossing - I love to use a simple clipboard that has a wood base - wrapped in tin foil - in order to hold onto the items I am embossing, and to help heat the powder up!  I love using this as it helps to be able to keep things still as you are trying to emboss the item up.  


     Now, next up on this hop is Mindy so go to see what she has for this fun hop.  Make sure you check back each day as this is the 12 Days of Christmas Blog hop, so we will have idea's every day!
